SEE: Dark-Comedy Theater in the World Premiere of "Blue Ridge"

Tickets are now on sale for the Atlantic Theater Company’s Blue Ridge—an unapologetically southern, razor-sharp, dark comedy written by Abby Rosebrock (Dido of Idaho), directed by Obie Award winner Taibi Magar (Is God Is, The Great Leap). Those well-versed in the Off Broadway scene will remember the Atlantic Theater Company as the boundary-pushing theater behind Tony-award-winning musical The Band’s Visit… but Blue Ridge is an entirely different kind of play.

Set in Southern Appalachia, Blue Ridge tells the story of Alison, a progressive high-school teacher with a rage problem who retaliates against her unscrupulous boss, and spends 6 months in a church-sponsored halfway house, “where she attends to everyone’s recovery but her own.” A tale of southern hell-raising, heartbreak and healing.
